Midnight RPG - Chapter 31.119

Bill

While traveling with Azmodar, Collune again scries on Kyuad and sees that he has met up with his new friends. They seem to know what to do, so she waits for a good time and contacts him via a telepathic bond spell. Her being an NPC, but my NPC, this conversation could be done by me for both sides, or Kevin could handle Collune.

Kevin

Note: Bill, not to be contrary at all, but you gotta remember that when you "hand over" the NPC idea it becomes an NPC for me to work with. Once that info on an NPC is approved and given to me, it's "mine". Collune is NOT "your NPC" anymore. No matter what I say or do with that NPC after you post it for use, what I say/do for them is canon. THAT is how she acts.
So, while I'll try to remember what you "intended" from her personality for her, you MUST remember that she is NOW an NPC. You have no control over her any more, other than through conversation/actions with her from YOUR PC.

I will *allow* your last action as Collune to scry on Kyuad to see that he's been "found" by his companions.
The REASON I'm noting this is because that in the past you've been unhappy with how I RP "your" NPCs. I'm happy to use your ideas for personality. But please don't assume I'm playing them wrong. Because the way I play them is the way they are once they're "mine".

I'm ALL about sharing co-creation, I welcome your ideas for NPCs via your 3x3 and background notes, but there comes the time when YOUR control's gotta end, so that I can make the NPC "come alive" in my own way.
Make sense??

I never said anything otherwise. I don't really even know why you think this is an issue. I am going to remind you of something though, I wouldn't really be into Collune becoming Kyuad's love interest. Knock yourself out.

Telepathic Bond

While it'd be a possible good thing for this Bluebook to happen, currently and unfortunately this cannot happen according to the spell:

Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)

Targets: You plus one willing creature per three levels, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart

Upload Kyuad

PS... You need to also UPLOAD Kyuad's character sheet to the FILES section of the Yahoo Group asap, I want to be able to look at it as needed.

• Possibilities

1. She could have been doing this all along - there's little reason she'd wait till now to try it. Of course, maybe she only learned it while in the hospitality of the elves. She could allude to previous conversations, and this would prevent Kyuad from having to tell her everything that's happened.
2. She may ask him why he has allowed this to happen to himself. She taught him that undeath was the worst fate.
3. This conversation could happen at any time. It may be the reason he didn't attack the PCs when he first met them. Or it could give Kyuad some special information before the group sets off to meet Azmodar.
4. Collune might make herself part of the ceremony to summon the replacement familiar. She can use the telepathic bond spell 3 times per day, for a total of 5 hours. Of course, this could be a bad thing considering they're on the move.

Kevin

1. Again, unfortunately - No. She couldn't have. I think it's unlikely that you two set this up prior to the campaign and Kyuad hasnot seen her in three months. And it would have been a little unbalancing to have said that Kyuad HAD a telepathic bond PRIOR to the campaign beginning. Not to mention the fact that you "obviously" didnot have it prior, since you sent Nisse to give her a message and also placed a message for her to scry on when at the Spire. If you'd had a Telepathic Bond prior neither would have needed to happen.
2. Maybe. That'll be when they meet again though, unless Kyuad has a way to contact her.
3. Before the group sets off to meet Azmodar?? When's this plan happening. I don't remember this at all.
4. No. If they form this "bond" she'd check in with Kyuad. (ie. that's when Bluebooks would be appropriate and could take place). But would not be able to continue this with travel needs.

Lastly, you're welcome to give me suggestions on what she might do to have the ability to START this Bluebook. Otherwise I'm afraid it's just technically impossible.

Any ideas?
